Scoop: NBC's Playboy Club Casts Eddie Cibrian's 'Brother'

In addition to ample T&A, NBC’s The Playboy Club will also offer up a bit of “Cain and Abel,” by giving Nick Dalton, the semi-reformed mob mouthpiece played by Eddie Cibrian, an ersatz brother.

Series executive producer Chad Hodge tells TVLine that Troy Garity (Barbershop) has landed the recurring role of John Bianchi, the “connected” son of Bruno Bianchi, a Chicago crime kingpin who meets an unexpected and grisly fate in the series premiere (airing Monday, Sept. 19).

In addition to his role of Isaac, the lone Caucasian haircutter in the two Barbershop movies, Garity’s credits include the TV-movie Soldier’s Girl (for which he netted a Golden Globe nomination) and guest spots on House and Hawaii Five-0 (where this past February he played an FBI agent).

Ug, did you just ruin the twist in the premiere? I’m guessing the twist was that the guy the one bunny murders and that Eddie’s character helps her clean up was actually his very own father. BAH. Just be careful to put an extra spoiler alert on this if I’m right.

Dear people, Leann Rimes has a small group of scorned women in life who go blog to blog badmouthing her. They hope to try and “bring her down.” Sadly they were scorned in real life and projected their bitterness to her. They’re to be pitied.
